      Thanks, Mary. The scanner didn’t do a fantastic job with the blues. They are actually more turquoise with hints of green and I feel that some vibrancy is lost in the scan.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to visit and comment.

      Best wishes,

    It’s starting out beautifully! I found that when I switched from acrylics it was a bit like that switch from positive to negative painting. I had to think light to dark instead of dark to light. That really threw me for a while and I still tend to loose my whites because I don’t think it through carefully enough.

      Definitely. The whole process is in reverse and I’m finding myself very heavy handed. And I’m not a fan of once its down I can’t paint over it either. But it has a delicacy that acrylics can lack. Though I have decided that I need some better and finer watercolour brushes. These ones are expensive, but I’m used to working with…[Read more]

        Thanks, Kaye 😀 There is now a song going around in my head 😀 Yeah, it is pretty much okay put the brush to the paper and care less about what happens and more about working with it.

        Thanks for dropping by 😀

      It is a Windsor and Newton Cotman colours palette. Not high end watercolours, but they do the job. I usually work in acrylics so I have more high end paints in that medium.

      I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing with this medium, and to top it all off, this design is a new style for me regardless of medium so I’m pretty much…[Read more]

    LOL, I n early July I doodled bears in bushes/woods (I’ll have to find it) … sitting in a hotel room. It’s not my only piece done in weird random places that I liked the final product. Hmm, is environment THAT influential?

    Thank you Liz. I think my practice is starting to pay off a little; but in the final piece, I am likely to do linework individually over each tone … those tiny horizontal strokes, if that makes sense.

      Thank you, Sue 😀 I painted this in a hotel room while on holiday and pretty much had very little of an idea of what I was doing, so I was pleasantly surprised when it kinda worked okay. I still need a lot more practise with this medium – it is still scary 😀

      Oh, thankyou, Mary 😀 Watercolours require so much more a light touch than acrylics (what I’m used to) and each brush stroke I find so tense as I can’t undo them very well.
